Ted Kaczor Posted October 27 Share Posted October 27 (edited) I believe this is a complete production line of the little 6" GE stationary fans. From left to right SERIES H, SERIES G, SERIES F, and not SERIES but TYPE A1, all restored. Edited October 31 by Ted Kaczor 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Steve, there is no difference between them other than the mentionned Letterring diferences. Why, would they keep on making the same exact fan without any changes but suggesting different model by stamping base cover...this is a mistery. Perhaps you Steve or Mr. Russ Huber could try to find an answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told years ago that also the ivory/almond was avil. option, this is why I restored one of them (pic) in such color.

Ted Kaczor Posted October 27 Author Share Posted October 27 looks as it was painted over the original ivory paint, if you could strip the black paint... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps you Steve or Mr. Russ Huber could try to find an answer. I've recently been gathering what information I could regarding these fans Ted. I still can't decide whether distribution began 1924 or 1925, though I favor '24 at present. I've wondered whether any changes might have been made to rotor winding or anything else electrical, to make the series designation something more than a sort of time stamp. My further guess is that they had excess unsold fans warehoused, ceased production of new units, and continued offering them in the dealer's catalog until stock was depleted. One G.E. image includes the description "AE1 Series F Universal Fan" which, to me, suggests that the Series F, G, and H units were all derived from the 1925 F (or more likely all from the Type A1), the different letters being a production footnote. I was hoping your A1 might have some differences... Whether "A1" is A(D)1 or A(E)1 with the others being copies--- all is in the realm of theory for now... My how they've changed..... This fan is Series G, and the only original cream-painted (only catalogued through 1928) I can recall having seen... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Huber Posted October 28 Share Posted October 28 Ted, #1. I am sorry to say I can't find anything so far to support them on the market in 24. #2. I agree 100% with Steve's quote below. 🙂 49 minutes ago, Steve Rockwell said: all is in the realm of theory for now... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Kaczor Posted October 28 Author Share Posted October 28 To my practical knowledge, talking about disassembling restoring those fans for a years, interchanging parts etc. I'm certain that there are no differences between any of them electric components included, exact copies I would say they are. Now, I know it is logical to use chronologic order and the A1 would be he first (in theory) but in this case why there are no SERIES; B, C, D, E? , was this some kind of bureaucratic idea?

Anthony Lindsey Posted October 28 Share Posted October 28 This was a tan series G. The paint was peeling and I redid it and stuck a 5 wing blade on it. I looked and couldn't find a before picture but the bottom is as found. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Kaczor Posted October 31 Author Share Posted October 31 So we established the existence of TYPE A1, SERIES F, G, H, wodner why or what heppened to B,C,D,E or even the A, any theory(s)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Fengel Posted October 31 Share Posted October 31 I have an all brass GE Oscillator and it had a chip on the pot metal Oscillator Housing. So I thought, no problem I had 2-3 Rear Housings I'll just use one of them. But I went to use them I discovered the Housing diameters on all of them were too large to fit the Motor Housing, so I ended up building a dam and repairing the chip with some JB Weld and sanding it down. Mine also has a pot metal front Bearing Housing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
